Resolutions

The past few years I've stayed away from New Year Resolutions. Mostly because I know I don't have to have a January 1st date to begin again (thank you, Jesus) and because I'm not real good at sticking to the things like diet and exercise.

This year has been different.

This year I made a few resolutions and try to concentrate on how I can accomplish my goals every day instead of thinking about the whole year ahead of me.

Here are my main goals:

• Track my finances better
• 10,000 steps every day (except Sunday)
• 117 books read by the end of the year (roughly 10 a month)
• Workout 3x a week
• Blog 2x a month

The tool I'm using to keep me on track is a bullet journal. Everyone does it a little differently, but this is an example of mine.


I love it! And I can really see my progress and go back to review what I've done all year. It's been fairly easy to keep up with and even if I get behind, I can catch up with entries quickly.

I hope I can keep this up all year long and use it when I travel and have special events. Next year, the only thing I'll change is investing in the notebook with gridded paper so I don't have draw all my boxes!
